The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.
Anime background art of an ordinary Japanese residential back street with no people in it at all: a small shopfront, a vending machine, overhead power cables crossing the sky, a low blossoming tree and a narrow pavement. Clean even line, flat colour with a single soft shadow pass, bright flat midday light rather than golden hour. Still and quietly lonely. No readable lettering on any sign.
The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images
